I'd say I care a lot since governments play a very large role in our lives whether we want them to or not. They have the potential to control nearly every aspect of our lives from the people we marry to the amount of money taken from our paychecks. They also have a consistent track record of violence. I care about politics but I don’t care about “politics”. I’m referring to the politics that is shown on TV. I get most of my news through Tumblr and other various online sources and I read great dialogue about political philosophy. I see what’s really happening around the world. I see children killed by drone strikes with their legs blown off. I see ground level videos of bombs going off in streets. Meanwhile, the average person who is interested in “politics” is watching a segment on CNN or Fox News about the jeans Obama wears.
